What Jonathan Oliver and Isabel Oakeshott don't speculate on is the reaction of David Miliband to such a suggestion. Might it provide him with a...

They were told in July : I suspect that the leaders of the European Union's governments would rather have someone who is no threat to their power, pomp or prestige.
